You don't have to choose between being technical or business savvy when you can have both
When I started teaching in 2015, it was with the determination to raise the standard of education in our industry. Too often do I hear stylists investing big money into classes that teach complicated techniques that just aren't realistic to do behind the chair. Or that there is no great business education out there for us Beauty Pros
So I created this "little" education business and everything changed...
It's been YEARS since I have done a full open air balayage application and I'm SHOOK
Not gonna lie, its been YEARS since I have done a full "open air balayage application" and I'm SHOOK!
90% of my work is done in foils, it's my comfort, my go to, and I know what the results will be. I signed up for class (thank you @kristen.lumiere) and with her help it sparked an interest to get myself back into hand painted hair. I'm in love, I'm in live, I'm in love!!

This color typically takes me 4-5 hours...but it only took 2.5 hours!!
I am so in love with how lived in this color is! Also, big shoutout to @kristen.lumiere! This kind of color would have typically taken 4.5 hours, but I used her technique and kept in mind LESS IS MORE. It only took 2.5 hours, so thank you!!!

I was so excited to try this new technique that I learned from Kristen Lumiere
Do you ever stay awake because you can't quit thinking about something? I was so excited to try this new technique from Kristen Lumiere, I stayed awake a couple of nights wondering who I could use it on. I'm LOVING the Internal Diamond Foilyage! Her techniques are unique but simplified and quite honestly the bomb!
Glad I lost some sleep thinking about it because my client and I were both pumped with the results!

Saved me 30 minutes on my application time
Continuing education is the MOST important investment you can make in your business. Today I did my first Internal Diamond Foilyage. It saved me 30 minutes on my application time and I am in love with the results!
